Abstract:
Indeed, Buddhism involves very much to establish and protect the human rights in various
ways along with different group of the people in the society such as lay people, Buddhist
clergy, ascetics and celibacies by promoting the discipline, friendliness and ethics among
people. Human rights assure of the security of the society and guaranty the privileges of
human beings by providing legal protection. If individual can maintain good action, the
society will naturally be protected by itself. Sometimes, it may change due to various reasons.
In such cases, modern day human rights became as a more subjective topic to be discussed.
Although everyone has a responsibility to protect the rights of each and everyone as human
beings, some intentionally neglect it.
In this paper, pay attention on the teachings of the Buddha, found in the canonical text of
discipline called Pārājikā. A Bhikkhu or Bhikkhunῑ who violates any of the pārājika offense
is cause to permanent expulsion from the order. The four pārājiks encourage monks and nuns
to maintain an ideal priesthood and protect the human rights while practicing celibacy.
